THE Baltimore Herald has its
usual Mondays chestnut on Curtis
Bay. One would suppose from its
reports that Curtis Bay was the
vilest place on the globe, and that
Baltimore city was filled with the
worst element that ever infested
city. 1t says:
at required IA cars to transport the Gu
rious crowd of blear eyed, red-faced
coughs and lewd women from the city,
and even then the cars were uncomfort-
ably crowded.
IL this be o specimen of Balti-
more's morals we don't wonder at
her corruption in its politics,and an
effort on the part Of her citizens to
reform both - the Herald in
cluded. All the HeraId's efforts to
get Sheriff Sellman to raid on the
gamblers at Curtis Bay, in order
to give it a boom at the expense of
Anne Arundel, has proved futile,
as Sheriff Sellman is not one of
those kind of men to be driven or
persuaded by outside authority,
which have no other interests in
Anne ArundePs morals than sell
fish one. The Sheriff says when

and the Real.-0ur senses reveal
to us not only the lights and shad-
ows, skies and seas, mountains and
plains of an outer world, but also
suggest to us an inner one where the
light which beams in upon the soul
never rested upon the creations of
nature Life in the outer world is
a weary. plodding and foot-sore
journey. Jacob wandering through
the wilderness, became exhausted
and sank down to rest. So we sink
but, unlike him, we cry out in our
agony, cursing the day of our birth.
Yet, as in the vision, Jacob saw the
ladder reaching from earth to heav-
en- and the angels of God ascending
and descending, and God himself
above assuring him that lie was
the God of his fathers and that He
would be with him and keep him in
all his ways, so the inner or ideal
life may be to lis
"The ladder by which we rise,
From the lowlyearth 10 the vaulted skies.
And as Jacobs dream was a
pleasant feature in his journey, so
the ideal may strengthen and re-
fresh us, the weary and footsore pill
grims along the journey of life.
At times our ideal appears very
near, almost within our grasp, yet
it is seldom, if ever, attained. We
advance, stretch forth our hand to
take it, but it as suddenly disap-
pears and we see it in the far hazy
distance. Thus as we go forward
it is ever receding, leading us or to
higher, nobler aspirations. What
we ascribe to Fate as the cause of
our not being able to attain what
we so much desire is doubtless the
hand of an all wise Being, who
holds tie destinies of men and an
gels in His hands, and guides the
Fates for veal or woe. Were we to
become possessors of our ideals our
incentive for work would be lost and
we would be void of ambition which is
the goal of life. Where would be
our paradise Lost" or the allegory
of "pilgrims' Progress, or the
dramas of Shakspear, if at the first
notes of triumph the authors had
retired upon the laurels already
won, self.satisfied with having at
tanned their ideal. But these sue
cesses only gave higher aspirations,
and inspired nobler zeal for attain
ing greater fame. Thus, although
our ideal cannot be fully gained,
being an ideal, yet if We wish to win
ourselves laurels in the hereafter
let us take for our ideal the One
moulded and fashioned, not after
the image of the earthly, but the
heavenly, and stamped with the
impress of Divinity.
Nor deem the irrevocable Past
As wholly wasted, wholly vain,
If, rising on its wrecks at last.
To something nobler we attain.

AS AN Illustration of the natural gas craze
now ravaging this State we copy the following
from village correspondents letter to paper
published ia a somewhat larger town:
Everybody talks gas here. Some will say
our town is too small for such an enterprise; if
those persons will figure little they certainly
will be convinced that it is not the case. Say
we have IS families and allow Is cords Of wood
to the family, making total of l ,125 cords Of
wood per year worth two dollars per cord is
equal to 50, 25U Now take 20 gallons of coal oil
per family, and you will have the neat sum of
1900 gallons. Now say 20cents per gallon and
we have $500 Now add 50. go to $500 and we
have 81, 550-more than it would take to sink a
we'll and have 1t for all time to come"
This is a mathematical demonstration, but
it failed to take into account the expense of pip
ing the gas. putting pipes and fixtures in houses,
with gas stoves, etc. The argument that ham
let of seventy FIVE families ought to have gas
we'll in order to save wood and coal oil. shows
that the craze is getting pretty strong hold.

THE TALLY-SHEET FORGERS,

The Journal has received number of
State as to why the investigation of the
tally sheet forgeries in this city had been
stopped. We may remark, by the way that
these inquiries are but one indication of the
general interest felt in the proceeding through
out the State, and as we see it reflected in our
exchanges. The investigation has been sus-
pended awaiting the decision of Judge
Gresham in the case of Samuel E. Perkins,
the contumacious witness. That decision is
the turning point in the case. The investi-
cation before United States Commissioner
Van Buren, had reached point beyond which
it could not proftably proceed until it was
decided whether the Commissioner could
compel Perkins to testify. His imprisonment
and subsequent release, pending the decision
of Judge Gresham, will be remembered by
those who have followed the proceedings
Owing to other duties, Judge Gresham has
been prevented from hearing the case as yet,
but will probably do so in day or two. On
his decision will depend whether the investi-
cation will be resumed or not. The case
comes before him on an appeal from Judge
Woods's decision sustaining the jurisdiction
of the Commissioner. If Judge Gresham, on
hearing the case, shall concur with Judge
Woods, that will settle the question of juris-
diction, the investigation will proceed, and
Mr.. Perkins will have to testify. If Judge
Gresham holds adversely to the Commission
er's jurisdiction, that will end the case and
investigation in its present form.
1t may be remarked that the citizens COM
mittee are, at the present stage of the pro-
ceeding, shut up to the Commissioners court,

practically closed against them Prosecutor

'OLD Shelby county, whose Democratic
